Abstract

The electrical design of computer systems includes signal integrity, power integrity, electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility and ESD. Practicing engineers in system design and development typically are skilled more deeply in one of these areas than the others. However, these are not independent disciplines and today’s dense packaging and high-speed signals require more cross-discipline skills that we call co-design and co-analysis. This presentation comes from the perspective of an engineer most deeply skilled in the power integrity discipline and explores the building of cross-discipline skills focusing on the application of electromagnetic extraction and circuit simulation tools to electrical modeling that enables co-design for robust system development.

Biography

 

DaleBecker

 Dale Becker received the B.E.E degree from the University of Minnesota, M.S.E.E. from Syracuse University and the Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He is a Distinguished Engineer in IBM Systems and Technology Group and a member of the IBM Academy of Technology. He is the System Electrical Architect for the IBM POWER and System Z Enterprise Systems. His responsibilities include designing the high-speed channels to enable the computer system performance and the power distribution networks for reliable operation of the integrated circuits that make up the processor subsystem. Dr. Becker is the Chair of the IEEE EPEPS 2014 Conference and co-chair of the IEEE EMCS embedded conference on SIPI TPC. He has 25 patents on electrical design of computer systems and has presented 75 papers in refereed journals and international conferences covering many aspects of electrical computer system design including power distribution analysis and design and modeling of signal and power distribution networks. He is a senior member of IEEE, a iNEMI Technical Committee member and a member of IMAPS and SWE.
